birds can choke on rice. my cousin, a vet, used bird seeds at his wedding instead of rice just for this reason.

considering the way the NSW Board of Studies screwed up this years results, and gave me a mark well below what I deserved, I'm glad I got into anything!

but we are many,
And from all the lands on earth we come.
We share a dream,
And sing with one voice.
I am,
You are,
We are Australian"

Waltzing Matilda,
Who'll come a waltzing Matilda with me?"

From New York to Rome, and old London Town,
But no matter how far, or how wide I roam,
I still call Australia Home!"
